Free Dining 2015 bounce back is out! Now with mixed up images.

[Anne5555]

Can people staying in tents/campsites at Fort Wilderness use the bounceback offer on their next vacation? Or do they not get that offer? What about guests at value resorts? Do they all get the same bounceback offer for the next trip?



Thanks!

Our Disney vacation just ended Sunday. We were at the GF, and I didn't see the bounceback offer there. A frequent Disney visitor told me not to worry about it--that I should get an offer in the mail in a few months that's always better than the bounceback. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake. Is it possible that if I call Disney I could still use the bounceback offer if I explain that I didn't see it offered then?

The bounceback must be booked during your stay, without exception. We've gone 9 years in a row and booked the bounceback (free dining) for next August. I have never received a better offer in the mail/email, but free dining is sometimes offered, depending upon the time of year. It's certainly possible that free dining or % off room will be made available at a later date.

We booked BB last week for next Sept. DH and I stay at ASMo and we upgraded to the reg DDP and were charged the difference. When I went into MDE it shows that the reservation is for 2 adults but then it shows that the dining is for 1 adult and 1 child. I'm hoping that it is just a glitch and that now that I'm home they won't change it to what I originally booked and was charged for to charging me completely for the DDP.

Maybe someone can answer this....

The current BB offer appears to be from 8/20/15 through 10/2/15.

When the NEXT BB offer is released will the dates for that offer have to be later than 10/2/15 or could they be for earlier in 2015?

Last fall, I booked a bb for March after the free dining bb ended. So yes, the next bb should include several dates for early 2015.

We have done bounceback with dining before but for the last 2 years we have opted to go on family cruise vacations. With my boys University schedule late August is the best time for us. I really hope they offer free dining again. Does anyone remember when it comes out? I think other years I started to see ads around March

Thanks Disneylover99

In addition to my curiosity, there was another DISer who wanted to know in the "May 2015" thread, so I quoted you over there too. You got two DISer's with one stone!

The past few years, the BB offers have followed this cycle. The booking window for room only discount expires to guests on July 31. Then BB FD becomes available for guests to book on August 1. The dates with room only BB will be throughout 2015. However, some dates are blacked out. It's just depends when Disney decides to pull the FD offer and switch back to room only.

Going for one night late Nov. What are my chances for BB?

 

[Aerinha]

Going Oct 26- Nov 1. Any chance A room only BB will be offered then? That is really better for me since I travel solo. Hoping for Poly, GF or YC.

Can I ask when in the Fall you made the March booking? Just wondering if that would give an idea of when the current FD BB will end.

BB is still the free dining on property right now, but we elected to book while here on property but NOT for the free dining. The crowds this year have been absolutely insane. This is the first time that it was just too much. We have been coming since the year before free dining came out at this exact time and it has progressively gotten busier but this year was a HUGE difference. We booked for a completely different time. Just an FYI for anyone interested in this kind of info.

Tricky questions here...this is all based on assuming...but let's assume they offer the same BB next September...for free dining Aug-Oct 2016. I plan on going Sept 2015 with a friend. She is a DVC owner and we will be staying in a villa with her points. Can I book the BB while there for my own family's vacation for 2016? Do I have to be on the reservation? Maybe I should ask her if my name can be on it so I can book the BB? Make sense I hope?

I booked my room only discount in early December, but I'm not sure when the offer came out. When I was in Disney World in mid October last year, the bb offer was still free dining.

Thanks. That helps narrow it down a little.

I was there Nov. 10-13,2013 and booked FD bounce back for August 2014. When I called X8844 I was told I could have the FD bounce back offer or there was a new one for RO just opening and I could choose. I needed the FD for our August 2014 trip for 11 people so I chose that. I'm pretty sure the RO bounce back was the only one offered by the end of November, for select dates in 2014. It might be similar this year? Just to narrow it down for you maybe.

Unfortunately we won't be going before to get the bounceback. When do you think the special offer will come on for the rest of us

 

[DisneyRunner2009]

I was at Disney the day after Thanksgiving in 2012. I called ext 8844 and was told the BB offer was FD for 2013.

What about 2015??

Does anyone know if you can book a BB for FDing and call back to change resorts? We booked a suite at AOA for 6 (dh, me and 4 kids.....one adult child). We may want to swap to 2 rooms at POP though. Not really digging AOA this year .
